Yuhi 6-Piece Knife Set
Inspired by the Japanese Setting Sun
Yuhi (夕日) means “setting sun” in Japanese — and one look at the handles tells you why. Layers of black and warm orange Pakkawood run through every grip like the last light of the evening sky, paired with striking Damascus-pattern stainless steel blades. Six essential knives, one beautiful gift box, and everything you need to cook with confidence every day.
Everything You Need, Nothing You Don’t
The Yuhi set brings together the six knives that cover almost every job in a home kitchen — from peeling fruit and trimming veg to carving a roast and slicing a crusty loaf. It’s the perfect first proper knife set, an easy upgrade from mismatched drawer knives, and a gift that genuinely gets used.
Sharp, Stainless and Easy to Look After
Each blade is made from stainless steel for reliable sharpness and resistance to rust and staining, finished with a distinctive etched Damascus-style pattern that gives every knife its flowing, wave-like look. The edges come razor-sharp out of the box and are easy to keep that way with a honing steel or whetstone.
Pakkawood Handles Built for Real Kitchens
Pakkawood is natural wood veneer bonded with resin under pressure — giving you the warmth and grain of wood with far better resistance to water, warping and cracking. The layered black and orange finish is secured with three stainless steel rivets for a solid, balanced grip that feels comfortable in the hand, cut after cut.

夕日 · THE SETTING SUN
Layered Pakkawood that won't warp or crack
Real wood veneer bonded with resin under pressure — the warmth and grain of wood, far better resistance to water than natural timber, and those bold black and orange layers that give Yuhi its name. Three stainless rivets for a solid, secure grip.
Sharp out of the box. Easy to keep that way.
Stainless steel blades for dependable sharpness and resistance to rust and staining, finished with an etched Damascus-style wave pattern. Low-fuss to look after and easy to bring back to a keen edge at home.
